Does German have a word for that?

Schwedische.

I am going through much the same flat-pack furniture travails, it looks like redecorating may be occurring over an extended period. I built up a latte server, which actually appears to be a credenza, after travelling about to many rural furniture stores in search of what Mrs. GA found appropriate. Which is fun, Mrs. GA is a very good travelling companion.

Warm and blustery here chez Casa Reynard, with a mix of sunshine and showers.

Slept well, and my mojo is starting to return. Have spent the morning writing and watching coverage from Tokyo.

There are plans afoot to go yellow stickering in Tesco this evening.

What are portobello mushrooms? I know the town just on the edge of Edinburgh but never heard any reference to mushrooms.

They're those big round open mushrooms

I have no idea what either of those things are. I was talking about furniture once with an American and she told me they had a new hutch. I said 'oh I didn't know you kept house rabbits ...' but she meant something like what I call a Welsh Dresser ...

A credenza is a type of sideboard.

I had to look it up when the word first appeared on here because I'd never heard it before.

It does look rather like a musical term combining cadenza and crescendo though.

Anyways, lunch is on the agenda. I has a hungry.

It was latte server that confused me, I was automatically thinking computer and a type of server, looking up credenza helped ease the confusion.

It was the association with latte server that led me along a very strange path of imagery, I had in mind some sort of plug-in, possibly even plumb-in, really, really fancy furniture-size coffeemaker. Perhaps it is on castors to move it out of the way when not required ...

Definitely dark chocolate Take no notice of me cos I like Marmite

New plan for the ride back:

View attachment 603050

Removing the first set of hills and 20km makes it a lot more doable, especially as I still have to function as a normal human the day after.

Also, I kindof want to do the middle bit "properly" ie: as part of a ride from where I live to Stuttgart.

Found the cake location, clearly marked as well. You need to change your route.

Funny what the human brain can concoct at times

Mind, as someone who doesn't drink coffee, I'm quite happy with my kettle and tea pot.
